Firstly, as a little disclaimer I wanted to say I am in no way showing off by doing this blog post, for the past 2 Christmas' I have done them due to it being highly requested, and I love reading others blog posts and watching their videos on what they got, so I thought why not. I am the biggest believer in Christmas being all about family time and the most important part of Christmas day is who is there together, not about what's under the tree. It's been a pretty tough year, but the last few days we all spent together has left my heart feeling so full and content.
Grab a cuppa, sit back and relax and enjoy my latest post :)

I was honestly very very lucky this year, I didn't ask for much only a few little bits but the surprises I received were such 'me' gifts and I love them. The couples (my brothers and partners) all decided that instead of a gift this year we would do a day out... which in my opinion sounds WAY more fun, so we are going to plan something and do it in the new year! My parents were so kind and gave me money to help me buy a Macbook - so any recommendations on which one is the best, please leave your suggestions in the comment box and I was also gifted a personalised make-up bag with an E on, cute decorations to style on my handbags and lastly the gift I asked for the Saffron Barker x Beauty Bay eyeshadow palette - I opted for Get Ready with Me - the colours are amazing and SO pigmented, and also I got featured on Saff's instagram showing the palette - so that was my day made ha ha!
I was given a Next voucher from my Grandad along with a beautiful scarf and glove set (very much needed with the UK weather right now!) and fluffy socks... seriously is it actually Christmas unless someone treats you to new PJ's and fluffy socks?!
The best Christmas present was having my family from Thailand & Vietnam down and seeing my little cousins face whilst she opened all of her gifts, it was such a precious moment, they brought us all a handmade card from Vietnam and I was gifted my FAVOURITE perfume ever to have been made... the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.
My boyfriend is also helping me purchase my Macbook as my Christmas present, as I honestly haven't wanted for anything this year, a laptop has been at the top of my list. I was utterly spoilt by his family who gifted me a personalised make-up brush holder it's so beautiful and unique, a oval make-up brush set, which I will definitely use in a tutorial and future blog post as I've never tried them before. I was given a bath set, dove sets, chocolates and a purse which a beautiful bracelet inside of it.
I was given some lovely gifts from my work colleagues, including a personalised wash/make-up bag from next, a personalised notepad, lot's of chocolates (some homemade too) candles, bath and body works bits and prosecco.
Some of my presents I thought you'd like to see...
